Hero Factory 2011

[VBBN]

New questions

1. What does Bulk and Stringers helmet look like?

2. What color is Furnos blades

3. How many blades does Bulk have

1) I'm not exactly sure what either of them are based on, Bulks is just very smooth and rounded and stringers looks like a wolf-ish design.

2)Gunmetal, though it may just be prototype

3) Two, they are connected to the armor on his wrists using the two-peg system

Bulk is a wolf and Stringer? Looks like a bear? Maybe a Panther?

He'd better be a bear.

I want to keep the Jimi the Pooh nickname alive.

You already denied me Billy Blaze, LEGO. Don't you dare take this away. It's all I have. ;__;

Hey peoples im new here but ive been following this forum since it was first made.

I just want to say I think Rocka is a girl. All the info comes together, Lego just has to make a girl character every wave, if they dont they might lose a lot of money from angry, and demanding fans (probobly mostly girls). Also if he/she was a boy they would probobly be called Rocker. I sorta got that from learning spanish, girl student- una studienta, boy- un studient, or something like that. Plus to me, I think that her hedress (I like how lego expiriments like this, When we had bionicle about before glatorians, we had masks. Wave 1 of hero factory plus bionicle glatorians, helmets, hero factory wave 2, hedresses. I still like it even if it was not on purpose) is not a lion, but a Lioness (girl lion). I have this think for being wrong all the time but I have a good fealing about him/her being a girl. NO COMFIRMED INFO ON HER BEING A GIRL.

Welcome to Eurobricks. You might want to not rush typing and edit the spelling errors but still welcome.

I may be misremembering, but I thought Rocka had a mane.

Honestly both here straight on views, they looked very jumbled to me, I'd actually say both were wolves but those pictures do make stirnger look less like a wolf than what i saw

Ask him to email you the pictures and post them. It shouldnt be leaked since we got one toy fair picture.

[Ceroknight]

is it wrong if the 3.0s remind me of these guys?

Alternatively, we could just wait a week for ToyFair.

Not wrong at all.

I would've loved a surge 3.0 with a shark helmet...

Thanks for keeping the opening post updated, Brickthing.

Come on, Lego... Underwater theme!

I'm really glad with how Hero Factory is turning out. Can't wait for more new pieces and the surprises to come in 2012. (That's me, talking about 2012 when the Winter 2011 wave hasn't even arrived in my country yet...) The possibilities with this new system is endless.

Makes me wonder if Lego inspired the armour-on-skeleton build from Gunpla building. Master Grade Gundams are built in exactly the same way. I never thought I would see it in Lego, so I'm quite happy with it.

On a side note, when exactly is Toy Fair?

I'm very happy with Witch Doctor's legs. It's good that they fixed the "stick upper thigh" problem that Fire Lord suffered from. The bad news is that they moved the "stick limb" illness to Witch Doctor's lower arms. But at least there it's less glaring. I hope for more pictures to fully judge him, but from what I've seen so far, I might actually want to get him.

Just found this video:

You can see Furno 3.0 on the start of the video (to the very left)

Skip to the end, and you can also hear a funny comment made by the camera man (25 seconds into the video.) Such a shame that we can't see the summer sets when they are just to the left.

I noticed Furno 3.0 doesn't have any thigh armor. Hopefully they just forgot to put some pieces on him. If not, then he's a definite "NO" for me.

[Jouster]

I changed my opinion about Furno 3.0. He ain't half bad. I kind of like him now. Cept' the lack of armor on limbs..

EDIT: News section of the HF website is updated. Go check it out.

What is that thing between the Witch Doctor and Rocka?

In regards to the "Rocka is a girl"-thing: If that is true, it means Rocka XL is gonna be the She-Hulk of Hero Factory.

... The 3.0 Heroes look like the 2.0 Heroes with different heads. Meh. At least Bulk, Rocka and Stringer will give us some new colors.

True, but at least we get a few new heros. Maybe for 4.0 we can get some reg. hero 2.0 helmets for Bulk, Stringer and Rocka with their own special face gear. Its probobly not gonna happen but all we can do is hope. I was pretty disappointed with the hero's when I first saw them because they are ever so slightly dif. from the 2.0's in design. But I am in love with the large claws I love weapons like that (MAXILIOS CLAWS!!!). Rocka xl looked nice to me in the prelim. I always remember gold being the "Ultra Powerful", and "Super Imporant Savior of Everyone" (mata nui ) But when put on a girl, I gotta say its better on females. I wish we would've gotten dif. torso armor for girls because you dont want to make a mistake like that . Sorry if my posts are a little hard to read/understand, I really try my best.

[Jetrax99]

For Doctor Who fans, has anyone noticed the if looked at in a certain way, the heroes kinda resemble Cybermen.

@Bricker what kind of torso armor did you have in mind for the female heroes?

...And different weapons! Notice that some of the canister sets even (the Stringer+Nex combo model demonstrates this) have claws made of Exo-Force robot arms, which is a lot more complexity than I ever expected to see in a Hero Factory canister set (especially back when Hero Factory had just begun and the heroes themselves had little to no merit as far as complexity of builds were concerned).

I might not end up getting every hero, or at least that's what I'm telling myself right now. But there's definitely still work being put into the design of the 3.0 series. In the very least, I hope to pick up Stringer and Bulk.
